Make play dough, finger painting is always good, also get them involved in making snacks and or lunch. Try kraftfoods for kids meals.
Reply:Arts and crafts activities are great for little kids. Usually you don't have to plan anything for these activities. Just give the girls papers, crayons or finger paints, stickers etc, and they will know what to do!





However, if you want to make something else and you need instruction you can find a lot of ideas at http://www.activities-for-kids.net/Arts-...





Have fun!
Reply:The foamy stick and peal pictures are fun for both of those ages and you can find them on butterfly's and clowns at walmart or the dollar store.


I also like large shoelaces and died dry macaroni (use food coloring) then string into necklaces. Don't forget to use colored strips of paper to make paper chains.


Crayola crayons has a website that has kids activities and a kids club. they make paints and markers that only mark on the special paper and not on anything else which is great for clean up.


Look at the web site www.smartflix.com They rent dvds on how do subject from art projects to fixing your car. Its the best source of "How To " information available on lots of interesting things for about $10 including postage.


Check out the home schooling web sites as they sell tons of activity books on things for small childrens art projects.
Reply:Hello - my 2 girls ( now 3 1/2 and 5) have ALWAYS loved arst and crafts. i can give you a few suggestions.





one thing that is real easy is, get some construction paper. Then , they sell these things like those bingo markers , but they are made for painting (for kids). they are awsome.





arts %26amp; craft stores also usually sell these foam sheets , and shapes , and then you can buy in these plastic buckets, foam letters, shapes, animals, flowers....and the BEST part is, the foam pieces, the back peels off , and they stick. No glue, no tape. WONDERFUL. they also stick on paper.





you can also buy foam craft kits . i actually just got , from walmart , kits to make valentine mailboxes. only a couple dollars. Walmart is good for inexpensive crayons, crafts, paper, coloring books, etc....





good luck to you !!
Reply:I say valentine's is around the corner. easter and Mother's day too! I would make stuff for those holidays. On the computer I would just type in kids crafts and see what you get.
